Why did you choose your board name?: It's what lots of people call me, what with my surname being Boone!
How long have you been supporting Quins?: About 10 years
How did you start supporting Quins?: Like a lot of people, I used to follow Rugby when it was international time, and I was lucky enough to get to a couple of internationals through corporate sponsorship arrangements via the company I worked for, and got hooked. I've spent most of my working life in the Heathrow area, and Quins were the local Premiership club (if you aren't Irish!). And of course, they have by far the best looking shirt!
If you play(ed) rugby what position did/do you play?: I went to school in Cardiff, so Rugby was compulsory! I played mostly in the centre.
Best ever Quins game: May 8th 1999, away against Bath...we won 17-13, and in the last ten minutes, Bath threw everything they had at us, including the kitchen sink...and our defence was absolutely awesome! Completely absorbing, nerve wracking, fingernail biting, but ultimately very satisfying victory!
Favourite off pitch Quins experience: Proposing to my wife following the home win against...guess who? Bath again! 2001 at The Stoop, this time!
What is the most ridiculous rugby related thing you have done?: Worn the trews, of course!
Favourite Ground (after The Stoop): Richmond
Favourite Quins Player: This season, George Harder. Over the last few years, Keith Wood
Favourite Non-Quins Player: Richard Hill
Most likely to say?: Trust me, I MAY be a doctor!
Least likely to say?: I prefer football to rugby; much better game!
What are your non-rugby pastimes?: Cooking, food & wine, badminton, swimming, writing
Favourite Film(s): Aliens, Lord of the Rings (all of them!), Terminator 2, Four Weddings & A Funeral
Favourite TV Programme(s): They Think It's All Over, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Top Gear, The Fast Show, Have I Got News For You

Favourite Music: A wide range from classical to (very) heavy rock!
Favourite Food(s): South-East Asian cuisine (Thai, Malay, Vietnamese, Burmese, etc.), Italian, Mexican, anything with chillies in it!
Favourite Drinks(s): A decent full bodied red wine, or a very dry white; a decent real ale or Guinness in the winter, and something like Labatt Ice in the summer; occasionally a good dry cider, port, brandy...hic!
Favourite Quotation(s): Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.

Tell us THREE things about yourself that we wouldn't know.
BUT, TWO of these should be true,
but ONE should be totally made up: 		1) I won a silver medal at an international Korean Martial Arts competition
2) I've competed in the Paris/Dakar rally
3) I run an international poetry website
